The Definitive, Flexlens Silicone Hydrogel Soft Contact Lenses are fabricated from efrofilcon A. which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
The non-ionic lens material, (efrofilcon A) is a daily wear silicone hydrogel contact lens that is not surface treated and characterized by a high water content. The lens material is composed of silicone monomers cross linked with other monomers and optionally incorporates D&C Green 6 as an integrated handling tint. The lenses are made by lathe-cut for custom RX. It consists of 26% efrofilcon A and 74% water by weight when immersed in a buffered saline solution. The (efrofilcon A) name has been adopted by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN).
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The (efrofilcon A) soft hydrophilic contact lens has a spherical back surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard appear somewhat warped however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: Not applicable for clinical testing of the current device. The document explicitly states: "The clinical performance of the (efrofilcon A) lens material has been previously established, and therefore was not required for this 510(k)." The current submission relies on the established performance of the material (efrofilcon A) which is part of the predicate device "Intelliwave³ (efrofilcon A)" (K100221).
- Data Provenance: Not specified for the historical clinical data related to the efrofilcon A material. However, all non-clinical toxicity and biocompatibility tests for the current device were conducted in accordance with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) regulations, implying controlled laboratory settings rather than human subject testing in the context of this specific 510(k). The non-clinical data is prospective as it was specifically performed for this submission. The country of origin is not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. No new clinical studies were conducted for this 510(k) submission, and therefore no "experts" were used to establish a ground truth for a test set in the context of a new clinical evaluation. The ground truth for safety and effectiveness is established by the previous clearance of the predicate device (Intelliwave³ efrofilcon A) and the inherent properties of the efrofilcon A material.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No new clinical test set requiring adjudication was used in this 510(k) submission.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not applicable. This was not a diagnostic device involving a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study. The device is a contact lens, and its effectiveness is determined by its physical properties, biocompatibility, and functional equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
6. Standalone Performance Study
A standalone performance study for the clinical effectiveness of the algorithm (device) was not explicitly conducted as part of this 510(k) submission. The submission relies on the established clinical performance of the efrofilcon A lens material from prior clearances.
However, various non-clinical (in vitro and in vivo preclinical toxicology and biocompatibility) tests were performed on the Definitive, Flexlens device in a standalone manner to assess its safety. These tests assessed:
- Sterility
- Packaging material and extract toxicity/irritation
- Lens physical and material properties
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the device's safety and effectiveness in this 510(k) is based on:
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary ground truth is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices, particularly the "IntelliWave', Silicone Hydrogel Daily Wear Soft Contact Lens (efrofilcon A)" (K100221), to which the new device is stated to be identical in material and manufacturing process.
- Non-clinical Testing: Laboratory testing (toxicology, biocompatibility, sterility, shelf-life) performed according to GLP regulations and valid scientific protocols provided ground truth for these specific safety aspects.
- Previously Established Clinical Performance: The document states, "The clinical performance of the (efrofilcon A) lens material has been previously established," indicating reliance on prior clinical data for the material itself.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a medical device (contact lens), not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The manufacturing process does not involve machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.
